🎯 Mission
Our school inherits the strong tradition of the educational vision of Po Leung Kuk, which offers academic excellence and all-rounded education to our children. We aim at cultivate our children the "7-learning goals" and foster students' whole-person development.
📚 Approach & Strategies
Our school promotes adaptive learning to cater to students' diverse learning needs. We use picture books and novels to strengthen students' reading abilities and combine them with various activities to establish a comprehensive language learning environment. All subjects incorporate presentation training to enhance students' respective skills. STEAM education has been integrated into both the formal and informal curriculum. A new General Studies (GS) curriculum will be launched in the coming year. Developing students' self-directed learning abilities, generic skills, proper values and attitudes, and knowledge of Key Learning Areas (Seven Learning Goals) are our main concerns.
💛 SEN Support
We have implemented the Whole school approach in integrated education. We set up the Student Support Team to coordinate the three-tier support mode. The team provides early identification and appropriate support for students according to their special educational needs. Different services are provided (including Reading and Writing Skills Training Group, Social Skills Training Group, Attention and Focus Training group, school-based speech therapy services, etc.) We place great emphasis on Home-School Cooperation.
🎨 Whole-person Learning
We focus on whole-person education. School based cross disciplinary subjects learning are implemented. Learning camp, overseas study tour are arranged. The Life Planning Program helps students think about their future. Moreover, we provide more than 40 extracurricular activities in different scopes. We have achieved excellent territory-wide and inter-school result (Golden prize) in academic, ball games, athletic, dancing and music aspects. Through these, we build up an all round student in academic and value learning.
